Seems pretty good for the price. As long as you're not into gaming or heavy video editing it should easily be good enough for all your needs.

Pretty similar to mine, don't use it heavily and it will be fine.

Please do not buy from PC world

1. Poor brands
2. Crap support
3. Outdated models
4. Expensive

Go online, do some research and buy direct or from Dabs or some such specialised place.

Avoid mass market chav shops like PC world

buy a Toshiba

Best Value Quality Computers sold at Aldi.


I have seen a Same Medion Computer at PCWorld
but all the Extras removed.
Aldi has all the connections slotted in - and cheaper.


Proof that Aldi
in Computer mag reviews are 10 out of 10.

You basically just plucked that figure out of the air, and you are entirely wrong.

Every game that is now made for PC platform has been coming out on a mac platform for over a year, and I have all the software I need, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Pages, Numbers, MSN, Photoshop CS3.

And plenty more which I can't be bothered to list.
